What Are The Symptoms Of Lung Cancer?

Hello, I'm 23 years old and I've been smoking since I was 17, though I quit it a few months ago. I've been spitting some blood with mucus in the mornings for a few years now but mostly I thought that was from the damage heavy smoking gave. like eroding tissues. but since I quit smoking, the amount of blood got more, I've started having some serious heart troubles like fast beating or shortness of breath. I've changed into a healthier way of life, and the coming of the blood stopped for some time. Last night, I lifted a heavy object and had a chest pain, and today I've spit even more amount of blood, my mucus was nearly red. Is that a tumor in a lung cancer?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Symptoms of lung cancer are fever, chest pain, weight loss, shortness of breath, haemoptysis etc.
You may have tuberculosis or some other pathology. You should go for chest x ray, and endoscopy. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. You also need smoking cessation.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
